What skills and experience we're looking for
Ossett Academy & Accord Sixth Form are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspiring Teacher of Health and Social Care. You will have a deep interest in the attainment of pupils at every ability level and show vigour and initiative. This is a real opportunity to join a vibrant and forward-thinking team.
We value challenge and active participation. The successful applicant will relentlessly pursue instilling an interest in their subject amongst all pupils; they will be innovative, with demonstrable resilience, vision, and energy. We have a large number of students who have chosen to study Health and Social Care across the Academy, including within the Sixth Form. Therefore, the ability or desire to teach across Key Stage 4 and 5 would be required. Our Post 16 Health and Social Care provision is strong, and as a progressive Sixth Form provider we aim to expand our offer within the coming years. Experience of teaching childcare would also be desirable but not required.
Applications are welcomed from teachers across the experience range. We offer an extensive programme of academy and Trust Professional Development to ensure all colleagues continue to develop as practitioners and have opportunities to work collaboratively across subjects and across academies within our Trust.
Early Career Teachers (ECTs) will have an experienced subject mentor assigned from day one in post. Colleagues are supported through their early career years with regular check ins from line managers and opportunities to meet with other ECTs across the Trust and colleagues from HR where any further support and guidance may be required. We are an inclusive academy and Trust and embrace opportunities to develop all colleagues on their journey to success. All newly appointed teaching colleagues receive a bespoke onboarding induction including their first day off timetable to ensure sufficient time and preparation can take place.
If you have the vision and skills to deliver inspirational teaching whilst having the focus and drive to ensure successful outcomes are reached, we’d love to hear from you.
